Soft gray sky

We're into the season where warm fronts bring overcast and cold fronts bright sun.  A glimmer of sunlight touched the tops of the pines when I got up, but it was quickly gone.  There is not much wind this morning so we have birds.  Chickadees, a Carolina wren, titmice, cardinals, and a nuthatch are coming to the feeder.  A titmouse confronted the wren, then both flew away.  Crows are carrying on about something.  Two did a mid-air dance.  Egrets are perched up in the trees while buffleheads make white spots on the water.

A great blue heron perched on the bench on the dock for a while. No birds at noon - turns out the feeder was nearly empty.  When it is humid, seeds sometimes stick toward the back where the birds cannot reach, even though the bottom slopes.  Well, it is refilled now. The clouds broke up somewhat.
